We are thrilled to launch WBSL Reach, a brand-new dedicated Studio apprenticeship scheme. Offering a start in the world of film and TV, the scheme aims to provide a route into the industry without needing a specialised degree while gaining invaluable experience among experts in the field.
We are offering apprenticeships across five key areas of the Studio; Client Services, Plumbing, Virtual Production, Set Lighting & Rigging, and Post Production at Warner Bros. De Lane Lea. Through the apprenticeship, candidates will receive a level 3 college qualification.
WBSL Senior Vice President, Studio Operations, Emily Stillman said “We are very proud to be delivering our new apprenticeship programme, WBSL Reach, creating a pathway for new entrants supporting production in the film and TV industry. With a focus on applicants from underrepresented groups and the local community, WBSL Reach seeks to open the doors into our industry and foster the culture of sustainable inclusivity and equity, allowing new career opportunities to develop and grow.’
With the demand for production in the UK reaching new heights, the apprenticeship scheme has been well received in the industry. Samantha Perahia MBE, Head of Production UK, British Film Commission said: ‘’I am thrilled to see WBSL continue their valuable work in boosting the skills provision for the UK production sector. The demand for content has never been greater. Programmes like this directly contribute to the UK skills pipeline which, alongside an equally essential expansion of UK stage space capacity, ensure that our world-class film and TV industry can continue to meet that demand, now and in the future.’’
Lyndsay Duthie, Production Guild said: ‘It’s great to see WBSL creating another route into the film and TV production industry. With demand in the industry continuing to grow, it’s more important than ever to help develop skills and create new career opportunities.”
